Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
R.J. and the Department of Children and Families filed a notice of appeal seek ing to challenge a non-final order changing the placement of R.J.’s son. Because there is no rule authorizing the direct appeal of this type of non-final order in a termination of parental rights case, see Guardian Ad Litem Program v. Department of Children and Families, 972 So. 2d 871 (Fla. 4th DCA 2007), we treat the matter as a certiorari proceeding. In this case, the trial court found that the placement would be in the child’s best interest, see section 39.522(1), Florida Statutes (2007), and the evidence supports the trial court’s factual findings. Accordingly, we deny certiorari.
DENIED.
